'Update' vs 'Schedule'

[micheleconversano]

Hi, today i work with WordPress and i noticed a problem. My timeline event is:
1) I have an article "X" published of the 26 april at 20.00.
2) Today, 27 april at 18.02 i start the edit the article
3) At 18.15 finish edit article and modified date of article in pubblication in 27 april at 18.15
4) Now i don't look button "Update" but i look button "Planning".

I have feeling that WordPress don't check date in this moment (18.15) but check date open edit article (18.02).

The article is pubblished in all cases but theoretically the article is deleter on the google serp for some minutes.

Sorry for my english :)

I'm sorry but this is not a bug report for issues with WordPress core

You can post asking for help debugging the situation in ​https://wordpress.org/support/

If you don't change the time/date stamp for WordPress, then when you publish a post it will be 'now' even if you save it as pending.

If you DO edit the time or day, WordPress keeps that no matter what future changes you make.
